Nobody should be getting commended for ATOMIC, it disbanded and merged into the AA within hours. It's remarkable only for the magnitude of its failure. The only productive thing it accomplished was giving Horsemen a little too much confidence in how easy it was to break factions with shock and awe.

No mainly because GCRs are cutting out some of the delegates work already with recruitment, and fresh faces. Give me more than they were Delegate of TEP.

To be fair though; One Small Island deserves a commendation more if we talking about GCR or any kind of Delegate!

No, they’re illegal (clearly the electronic entity) as is the mention of roleplay.
Edit: I suspect UCR may be illegal as well seeing as it stands for User Created Region. However, you would need a Mod ruling on that.
Overall the writing for a first time draft is of good quality. The content, on the other hand, is not so good. There are lots of areas, already pointed out, that need to be addressed if this is going to be submitted.

Zukchiva wrote:A lot of people said what needs to be said.
I do think there's a case for Libertanny here, but obviously I'm biased. Regardless, some comments:I get the intent on this clause, but I would personally focus less on the impacts on the IC-FA and more about the structure itself, and how it allows for more collective decisions and puts much less a burden on the Minister.Streamlining The East Pacific's foreign affairs department by creating region spheres, and developing the Inner Circle of Foreign Affairs, which trained nations in foreign affairs, most notably Zukchiva, who succeeded Libertanny in the Delegacy, as well as allowed citizens to have a much bigger impact on deciding foreign affairs matters,
I definetly feel it should be mentioned.Libertanny did a bit more than this, so I would say this should be more descriptive. How did Libertanny restructure EPNS (as a rhetorical question)?The restructuring of the EPNS and repeal of the EPNS Act, which set the foundations for the success of the current Ministry of Information.
Could add something about how the EPNS Act's restrictiveness, and Lib's repeal of it, helped make EPNS more flexible. Doesn't warrant its own clause but can be included in this EPNS clause itself.I do not believe this does Paradoxical justice.Coordinating the three Paradoxical games events, where each event gathered at least 200 nations and promoted regional activity,
Paradoxical is a pretty large festival open to all, and I know that all three iterations have been astoundingly popular with around a week of events celebrating Paradoxical's games. Additionally, while sometimes TEP hosted it, it is in reality not something ran by TEP but ran by Libertanny independently of the region. Lib is basically the head organizer. I would thus make Paradoxical its own clause, separate from any of the lists. Paradoxical is definetly a unique venture and would be noteworthy in any commend.As Alger said, Valsora is one of many maps. The de facto main map indeed, but one of many.Creation of the first release of Valsora, official map of The East Pacific RMB, which developed the regional roleplay of The East Pacific,
Also, while it is true that Libertanny created the map itself, and worked with the Map Council to develop a lot of its initial concepts, it was eventually taken over (with the Council's permission) by Nova-Columbia (another Councillor), who has owned the map for around two years now and is really the sole person responsible for a lot of its development following its initial stages in the Council.
I do think Valsora's creation deserves a mention as it probably wouldn't exist the way it does if Libertanny didn't play a strong role in it as Councillor, but the history of the map should be kept in mind.This should mention more about Libertanny giving MoWAA more due importance in the regional government compared to past Delegates. Both by making it its own Chief Ministry (and thus splitting it from the portfolio of the Chief Minister of Regional Affairs), and by following the Ministry's vote and thus voting in a more informed manner.The restructuring of the World Assembly Affairs branch, which allowed for East Pacifican citizens to vote and interact with the World Assembly Resolution voting processes.
Honestly not sure if this should be included. Maybe combine this clause with the REWARD clause and state that Libertanny helped modernize TEP's WA practices from the archaic methods of old, allowing for heightened WA participation in the region. Then you can mention the restructuring of MoWAA and the creation of REWARD as examples.As others have said I wouldn't include this. Not because the Consortium hasn't done anything (it has hosted a few festivals and heightened cooperation between individual member regions for sure), but because it's still being set-up.The creation of the Consortium, an interregional coalition of Thaecia, Free Nations Region, The East Pacific, Alstroemerian Commonwealths, Force and the Kingdom of Great Britain, which has lead to diplomatic and cultural developments,I feel like this can be combined into one "this nation helped form fruitful alliances with [insert region examples]"The strengthening of relations between The East Pacific with both 10000 Islands and Europeia simultaneously, further developing The East Pacific’s diplomatic ability,
The creation of treaties with the The Union of Democratic States, the Free Nations Region and Thaecia, drawing larger UCRs closer,
The improvement of diplomatic relations with the imperialist sphere, especially with Balder and The Land of Kings and Emperors, where with the latter Non-Aggression Pact and Diplomatic Recognition was signed,
That being said, I see no reason not to mention this. It's pretty standard for most commended GCR & UCR Delegates to discuss this type of stuff, and Libertanny really helped TEP form a network of allies it can rely on and cooperate with.Would be more specific here. It is true that Libertanny, along with Atlae, helped garner a bunch of troops for the liberation attempt. I remember specifically Libertanny making a whole bunch of announcements and promising ranks to incentive people to come to the region's defense.The coordination of the Liberation of South Pacific with the Phoenix Flock Fleet, which involved one of the highest amounts of East Pacific troops in history, that being 51 nations.
Should be noted that this is an attempted liberation. It didn't succeed and that's important to note regardless.Not commendable, IMO. You would expect allies to defend allies.The support of smaller allies, such as Warzone Asia, where Libertanny ordered EPSA to pile in the region to ensure that Jean Rowe holds the record of longest serving Delegate, as well as sending pilers to defend Warzone Asia after receiving threats from defender figure Tim Stark. This resulted in EPSA being voted in as ‘Friendly Military of 2020’ in the Warzone Awards,

Libertanny was constantly committed to the region. Maybe you need a better feeder delegate to compare them to?

Always happy for your input, puppy kicker.
1. Do I need to explain the need for people to rebuild a region after an attempted coup?
Oh, really? 1. Why is that commendable? 2. UCR outreach doesn’t seem to be going anywhere...
2. Condescending as always! People (wider NS and some GPers) seem to have an idea of GCR supremacy. Lib diminished this through UCR outreach.

They were delegate of TEP, they helped coordinate massive operations, they helped revive TEP after a coup attempt (Lib was FA Minister in the Marrabuk Administration).

There exists in my mind a player named Ted who has stopped every coup, ever. Can I commend him? Seriously though, it’s been like a year hasn’t it? Normally you don’t publicly announce an “idea” on the forums so it can be “developed” for another year, if it’s happening at all. Either way, not exactly commendable.Vamperiall wrote:The Consortium is a work in progress. It exists within the minds of the members, and is an agreement that deserves to be mentioned.

Lol. Luckily for us both that’s not all that’s in he commendation draft, if it were he’d be even less commendable, and that’s saying something.1. Do I need to explain the need for people to rebuild a region after an attempted coup?
Lmao. GCRs and UCRs had and will continue have relations with each other. This isn’t something new or special. And I have no idea what you’re going on about how Lib diminished any GCR supremacy mentalities.2. Condescending as always! People (wider NS and some GPers) seem to have an idea of GCR supremacy. Lib diminished this through UCR outreach.
Now, because of the way you structured your post I have no idea what this is supposed to be in response to. But whatever it’s responding too, if you can’t tell me the details of the clause either learn them and come back, or drop the clause.3. Couldn't tell you.
Seems Flander already got to this.4. Endorsements are good! TEP was (iirc) one of the feeders with the smallest endocount before Lib took over.
Sounds like normal, basic delegate stuff.5. I mean, it's not like citizens had a direct line of communication to the delegate to give their two cents before Lib took over. Maybe they did! But their restructuring of the WA Ministry helped formalise the process.
Believe it or not we can’t really commend people on “could have”s. I’m sure Lib “could have” been a commendable nominee for example but that’s just not how the SC works.It was a mighty big faction though. It could have survived, but the Horsemen had their stronky pants on this year.

Although the idea for Consortium was an awesome one, it has never worked, as intended. One could list various reasons, and it would be wise to do so, to take a lesson for future from it. But with such a long time since Consortium started happening and never forming, it is a wise decision to let it go. Whilst The East Pacific has improved relations with AC, FNR and Thaecia through it, most of Consortium goals were never accomplished, Consortium never became active and was never ratified. With almost a year from Consortium beginning, it is now too late to revive it. But it's never to late to take care of friends we made during that project. Simply saying, goodbye to Consortium, but hello friends! One must also not be afraid to say, that inactivity of KoGB and Force had a huge impact on destiny of Consortium. Therefore, we will be working on close cooperation with Thaecia and FNR (other founders of Consortium) in form of triumvirate "alliance" (cultural and diplomatic cooperation without proclaiming any bloc). Additionally, we will work closely with AC (formerly known as Iwakusphere).
